    Even with the silly title and the awful cover, GRRR! remains the best compilation the Stones have put out. The standard 50 track edition offers few surprises, most of the tracks are from the 70's, leaving some room for the early singles and the not-so-bright 80's and 90's eras, thanks to that it manages to maintain a perfect balance and showcases all the styles the Stones have gotten into.Even with the silly title and the awful cover, GRRR! remains the best compilation the Stones have put out.

Unfortunately there are some weak choices like "Highwire" or "Anybody Seen My Baby?" that make the last part of the compilation pale in comparation to everything else.
    If you want a more in-dept listening you can pick the deluxe edition, with fills most of the missing tracks and gives you some obscure gems. It's true that you can't cover the majestic career of the Stones even with an 80 tracks compilation, but GRRR! does the best job there can be.

    GRRR! is a total cash grab. [No. 94, p.59]

    Despite the silly title and gorilla sleeve, this 3CD compilation proves a respectable primer.
